   Assuming you mean gluing up segments, for example, as opposed to attaching a glue block to a blank, Titebond or similar glues are appropriate.

   thanks JW,

   I'm assuming the Gorrilla type, polyurethane (sp) might show in the finished turning...

   Yes, more so than Titebond. Any glue joint will be detectable it you look hard enough. If you're doing segmented turnings the joints will be obvious, you just don't want the glue line itself to show.

   While Gorilla glue had good gap filling properties, if you are gluing up for turning you don't want any gaps Gorilla glue would be happy to fill. I don't have my reference books handy, but it seems to me that glues of this type are not optimal for turning applications for reasons that elude me.

   Happy turning!

   Depending upon the wood(s) being used, you might also look at some of the brown woodworking glues - ask their tech departments if those glues are good for pieces to be turned. The brown glues sometimes are less noticeable on darker woods.
